小灾害通常是气候多变性和气候变化的产物。对这些问题的分析表明，这些问题增加了当地发展的困难--常常影响到穷人的生计，使他们的贫困程度和人的不安全状况长期存在--并给一个国家的发展带来挑战。与极端事件不同，小灾害在国家一级往往是看不见的，从宏观经济的角度来看，其影响并不重要。然而，它们的累积影响造成了经济、环境和社会问题。本文介绍了1994年由拉丁美洲灾害预防社会研究网络开发的DesInventar数据库的评价结果。此外，它还在美洲开发银行的支持下，提出了2005年在美洲灾害风险和管理指标方案框架内编制的新版当地灾害指数。
Small disasters are usually the product of climate variability and climate change. Analysis of them illustrates that they increase difficulties for local development-frequently affecting the livelihoods of poor people and perpetuating their level of poverty and human insecurity-and entail challenges for a country's development. In contrast to extreme events, small disasters are often invisible at the national level and their effects are not considered as relevant from a macroeconomic standpoint. Nevertheless, their accumulated impact causes economic, environmental and social problems. This paper presents the results of an evaluation of the DesInventar database, developed in 1994 by the Network for Social Studies in Disaster Prevention in Latin America. In addition, it proposes a new version of the Local Disaster Index developed in 2005 within the framework of the Disaster Risk and Management Indicators Program for the Americas, with the support of the Inter-American Development Bank.
